Well, I'm done. I don't need to get my source in trouble either. Too much crap to walkthrough especially from twitter. Recently as Mr. TPlush.

And it's a shame for all the non pricks out there.

And just for a parting gift......................."Chernoff" is all I have to say.

Goodbye folks.


And the HH era is over after someone I think created a fake twitter account in his name. So stupid, if you don't believe him, just ignore it.

Chernoff is the GM of the Indians, that must be the deal that is one prospect away.

Like, I don't blame him because people are idiots but also you have to know that going in and have a bit of a thicker skin or just not interact with people at all.

Agreed on all fronts. Also, if you're going to post with bravado, expect blow back. People don't like that.

Plenty of blame all around. Bummer.

I agree that there is some agent collusion going on with Darvish. The less he gets the less the rest of the FA pitchers get.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

I like how he threatened to leave the board if a mod deleted one of his posts. Idiot.

If a couple of fake twitter names and a little bit of criticism on a message board drives you away (after you promised to break news at 9 pm and basically came back with stuff you've already posted) drives you away, then good riddance I say.

Awesome sauce for you, but I was enjoying the nuggets. So now it is just ruined for everyone, which is bad riddance I say.

But it's the same news. He literally said in his post last night that this isn't breaking news. We know the Brewers don't want to sell low on Santana. We know the Brewers are after Darvish. We know the Brewers have multiple trades lined up but want to go for another one but they can't agree on player(s). Why do I need the same news every week?

I'm not a BF guy, other than mostly lurking in the minor league threads, otherwise I am pretty much never on there. So the most obvious question I could ask, if you don't need or want the news, why read it, why comment on it, or why care? Just leave it for those that want it.

This feels reminiscent of seeing crappy "NBA sports whispers" tweets close to the deadline, which gives people that want something to talk about, something to talk about. Then Jimmy the Kid or whoever else come in and scold everyone for posting on it. If you don't like it, just leave it, that's remedial elementary school stuff right there.

The only thing I can say is don't get people in a frenzy saying you have big news at a certain time and then come back and repeat basically everything you said before. It's a total dick move.

One of my good friends works with the Brewers and said they will probably make another move this calendar year for either a pitcher or hitter

AS someone who at one point was privy to inside info its very difficult to manage what you say and how you say it. There is always leaks and information out there available. Especially when those front offices have been together for a while versus new regimes. Agents most of the time are the source of leaks. In my circumstance it was from a different kog in the process. Medical records reviews and specialist consultations also get provided information as well as Analytic guys and cap analysts. Its basically impossible to know where leaks or inside info comes from. I have zero source for that information anymore due to the Bucks regime change but it is a tough dance to dance.

**** seriously. I've followed peripherally via you guys posting his stuff here, but what a douche.

Listen, I am conscious of the tightrope lots of 'insiders' have to walk, welcome when we get info, etc. Honestly. I always welcome a BP sighting. But when a guy is going to use it to be boastful and make himself bigger than the group he's presenting to, which this guy certainly did, piss off if you can't take the heat back. 9pm breaking news? :lol:
